Jerry Garcia, Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA, 19 augustus 1970.

The contrast on that black and white print is gorgeous—you can practically feel the heat and smoke of the Fillmore West stage. Elizabeth Sunflower caught Garcia mid-expression, and it's like a time capsule of that August night in 1970. It's hanging in my living room now, and I keep stopping to look

The photographer really captured the moment—you can almost hear the crowd through that hazy Fillmore West atmosphere. Arrived in a sturdy sleeve with a sharp print that does justice to the 1970 black-and-white source.

The black-and-white grain in this shot captures the whole dusty energy of that Fillmore West era, and Sunflower really nailed Jerry mid-strum. I’ve got it framed in my hallway and catch myself staring at the crowd’s blur in the background every time I pass.
